Sort of. It does on some bodies (The *istD for example), but on others I found that M42 lenses had major exposure errors (K100D). The issue seemed to be whether or not the lens shorted the A contacts on the K100D. So accurate metering in Av on the Pentax DSLR's seems to depend on the model. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
